start browsing your local gamestops for used games.... 7 day return policy = free rentals

I thought I was the only one who did this on the regular

man, ive been doing it since they allowed you to return NEW games too

I remember being in the store when some lady was complaining about buying Zelda as new but when her kid turned the game on, it had a choice to CONTINUE STORY

Yea I think now you can only exchange new, right? I remember my new copy of Madden kept freezing and they allowed me to exchange for another new copy.

 

[bigj505]

^^^ probably... I haven't had any issues with any new games from gamestop.

 

[supermanblue79]

This thread has been helpful. Im going to wait on buying until all of the bugs get worked out. I can't justify spending $500 to beta test products for Sony and MS. I need to see the complete experience that each has to offer before I jump on the bandwagon.

i was finally able to get COD properly installed by just leaving it alone. and it finally moved from 0 to 1% after like an hour.

but i got kicked out of every single online match i tried to play. kept saying no server connection. super weak

really wish i would have just stuck with the 360 for like 6 months before getting the new console

 

[xsourdieselx]

Just went on a 9 streak win on k.i feeling like im Maximilian

 

[deleted]

I still remember going when cod mw took over the no 1 rank from halo2 on xbox live

That feel...I know it.

Drag racing

Forza really is the best launch title on both consoles.

agreed and by far. - for those that like sim racing games.

NFS isn't too shabby either.

are you using wifi or wired? also check if your nat settings say open.

Ya ive really enjoyed forza the most out the 4 games i got so far, but lately i haven't played due to the Nba 2k14 code. Now working on my 2nd one about 17 games in.

Will be looking forward to that Drag Racing doe

...?

That title easily goes to cod ghosts.

Especially since that's the most played online game on both consoles.

 

[jorizzle]

Man, I'm seriously thinking of dropping $250 to get that Titanfall Collector's Edition

I was speaking in terms of both consoles first party launches. COD is tired to me, same thing since 2008.

Which is exactly why they can release these trash games. Just because it sells, it doesn't mean it's the best. Having played a majority of these launch games, I'd have to agree with Forza as well. Although AC IV isn't too shabby either.

Wifi and yea NAT is open. Its not my internet, I have been playing Ghosts since it came out on 360 with no issues as recently as yesterday until I traded my copy in for the One version. Which im realizing was a stupid idea

 

[donpoppa]

I swear Microsoft is watching me. Last night I decided to hop back on the 360 to play bf4 with my usual crew. After about two matches the fan on my xbox starts screaming and overheats and gets two rings.

 

[mf brown]

Just added everyone. Took like 20 mins smh lol.

Calling one of the biggest FPS franchise trash makes no sense.

Considering how much work they've dedicated to make cod as good as it is.

Very few FPSs reach cod's success.

So COD's success has a lot to do with the gameplay, rather than "oh it's cod, so it sells."

Best example(success due to excellent gameplay) of that would be cod4.

I'm only speaking on infinity ward's cods.

Treyarch's cods are indeed trash.

I was speaking in terms of both consoles first party launches. COD is tired to me, same thing since 2008.

The exact same thing can and has been said about Forza.

Studios who want to keep making games don't switch up the formula for their future game just to be different.

From my experience on gaming forums, very few people want to play a sequel of a game they like that's very different than it's predecessor ie resident evil 6.

If they want a completely different experience, they would most likely purchase other FPSs from other game studios.

As I would assume most gamers do.

the name is real reason why it sells now. just like with some music. look at someone like eminem. good in his prime then he fell off hard. people still buy it thinking it will be good like one of the older ones or just loyal fans.

 

[jayfiend]

Man Bammas are starting to not like COD. But I don't care what anyone says that game is fun as hell and always has been.

Th only one I didn't really enjoy was WAW, besides that IMO they have all been good.

i finally figured out how to stream movies to mine. had to make a microsoft skydrive and upload them there. i don't think it can be done through xbox video app. GT - JusLetEmLay COD and DR3 only games so far
